ACCESS FOR ALL GUIDE TO LISBON
Steep
topography, narrow winding alleys, centuries old buildings, historic trams --
the very things that make Lisbon so charming -- create difficulty for those who
use wheelchairs for mobility.
That why we're
so impressed with Lisbon’s guide to wheelchair access.
First off,
we appreciate that the introduction, written by the then deputy mayor for social
rights, acknowledges that the city has a long way to go to provide the kind of
inclusion that people with disabilities deserve.
The second thing we like is the specific details.
Many times, a route to an attraction is
mapped – with routes that are independent and route that don’t have steps, but
may have cobblestones so bumpy that a wheelchair may requires a companion to
help navigate.
The
attractions themselves have vivid details. So you know if one floor of a museum
is barrier-free, but other parts are not.
Elevators, accessible restrooms, direct links to the attractions and other fine details make the guide an excellent English-language wheelchair access guide to access to sunny Lisboa.
